Stuck on logo during Android-x86 boot

I'm trying to install Android-x86 on USB for my new HP laptop. I have followed the instructions on Android-x86.org. My issue is that after the initial install, it never boots again, it just gets stuck on the Android logo. I have seen a few posts such as [this answer](https://android.stackexchange.com/a/214061/44325) : > when you change the internal frame where the UEFI firmware settings to the EFI framework setting change the boot order you have to make a small partition for grub go back and change it back otherwise it won't boot the second time but unsure of how to do this. I have also seen [this answer](https://superuser.com/a/1270769/356789) : > 6. In boot menu select Installation - Install Android-x86 to harddisk > 7. In Choose Partition menu select Create/Modify partitions > 8. **In Do you want to use GPT question select No** > 9. cfdisk program will open > 10. Select New and select Primary as partition type, set size to 100 MB and select Beginning > 11. Select bootable. Now the Flags column should say Boot for the new partition > 12. Select the free space and select New and select Primary as partition type, leave size as default to fill the remaining free space > 13. Select Write and type yes and press Enter > 14. Select Quit but I'm stuck in the fact when I click on create/modify on this, I get cgdisk not cfdisk, and it's not as easy to use. I don't know why this is happening. Before I realised what to do, I was accessing cfdisk, but now it's only cgdisk. I have purchased 4 premium USB sticks just in case the issue was due to a bad USB, but it's not the case and I'm just so frustrated. Any help at all would really be appreciated.
